Andrea is a prolific printmaker, a budding
painter, and publisher of her own letterpress books. She has been
pursuing her passion full time ever since a two-year sojourn to New
Mexico. Images of faces in painting and linocut have
predominated in the
artist's most recent work. Drawing and painting every day, the artist's
work is evolving as she studies with her mentor, James
Picard. Andrea's work features her relief prints, etchings,
acrylic
paintings on canvas and her own hand-bound letterpress books from her
press, Cotton Socks Press. Commissions so far include portraits, movie
work and corporate gifts. Andrea has an etching press & a letterpress in
her home studio
and is a member of the Dundarave Print Workshop at Granville Island,
where she enjoys the company of other printmakers. Andrea had a solo
show in 2003 and one in 2006 at Dundarave and participates in many
group shows. She has exhibited in a number of international juried
shows and her work is in private collections in Canada, USA, Germany,
Japan, Australia, UK, Greece, and France. Andrea's letterpress books
are in the special collections of UBC, SFU, University of Alberta, VPL
and Wyly Community Art Center in Colorado.
